Ingredients:  
2 lbs. Hamburger
2 lbs. Ground sausage
1 Large head of cabbage 3 to 5 lbs. ( you will want to cut out the core )
1 and 1/2 cup of uncooked rice
2 Tbsp. Black pepper
1 tsp. Of salt
1/2 cup of White vinegar ( can add an additional half cup if desired )

Directions:
Directions:
In a large pot over medium high heat place for cabbage in water to separate the leaves, taking caution not to rip the leaves.
While the cabbage is doing its thing. In a large mixing bowl mix hamburger, sausage, salt, pepper, rice, onion. ( I found that mixing these ingredients with your hands is the best option. ) set aside.
Once you have all the cabbage completely apart removed from water to cool.( you can run it under cold water, cool faster.)
Using a crockpot put a layer of sauerkraut at the bottom take one leave and place a good amount of meat stuffing on the leaves and roll it up around the meat tucking the sides in and place in the pot. Repeat until first layer is full put a few strips of bacon over the cabbage rolls and repeat next layer minus the sauerkraut continue making rolls and layers until crockpot is almost full usually 2 to 3 layers. Top with sauerkraut vinegar and stick of butter, cut into Pats filled with water to top of cabbage rolls. Cook 7 to 8 hours on low checking periodically to see if you need more water as rice will soak up the water. ( cook until rice is tender )


For Insta pot or pressure cooker follow same instructions. Cook on high pressure for an hour and 15 minutes, letting pressure release by itself.

For conventional oven use a large Dutch oven same instructions cover and cook at 225 degrees for 4 to 6 hours or until rice is done.
